The Minotaur's Maze

Bathhouse Beasts #3

by Blake R. Wolfe

A restless soul. A bathhouse full of monsters. One forbidden maze that leads him to surrender…

Julian has always been in control—at work, in life, even in love. But when loneliness drives him to a discreet bathhouse hidden beneath the city, he discovers a place unlike anything he imagined. Steam curls around shadowed halls, and at the center lies a labyrinth where desire takes shape.

There, he meets Lakovos—a minotaur whose massive frame and commanding presence turn the maze into something far more than stone and steam. One look from those dark, unyielding eyes, and Julian feels the edges of his carefully guarded walls begin to crumble.

What starts as curiosity soon becomes submission—an exploration of power and trust within winding passages, where whispered commands and lingering touches strip Julian of his defenses. Every turn of the maze pulls him deeper into surrender, into a connection that is equal parts primal and tender.

The Minotaur’s Maze is a gay monster romance about giving up control, finding freedom in surrender, and discovering that love sometimes wears horns.

I seriously love this spicy miniseries. Short, extremely hot, and there is also a bit of plot. 100% recommend if you are looking for a different shaped D. Finger licking good!

My reviews are my own. If you liked this book, I’m glad you enjoyed it. If not, I respect your opinion. This is merely my opinion, so let's keep it courteous. My review is honest and voluntary.

This is tagged as romance, but it is not. It is a simple steamy meet-up. So if you are up for a short, steamy quickie, this is the right choice for you.

On to my next adventure, Happy Readings!!!

Although I loved Julian's character, and the idea of this Maze that only wants to help, I felt that this was too similar to the other stories. A patter. that, although interesting, could be broken regarding the "monster" of the story. I am hoping the other very short stories are a bit more varied in the plots and sex.

molto carino breve, ma fa il suo lavoro ovvero tenerti incollato alle pagine.

Slow Start

I think the corporate part in the beginning went on too long. The book is less than 50 pages so it really wasn't needed. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed the book.

Not much to say. A short, quick read featuring a Minotaur. Pretty mild compared to other things I’ve read.
